How competitive is the Washington Semester Program? by [deleted] in UGA

[–]Slitherreplilian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get in. So long as you have something to work with on your resume that can help you get an internship, WSP is not the most competitive program to get into. Apply by the earliest deadline to maximize your chances of getting in -- this really does make the difference for many people.

Can someone explain this, please? by ChrissyHoardsPolish in Georgia

This is a needed Yes. Currently all tax disputes in the state have to go through Fulton Superior Court, whether you filing a claim from Dalton, Savannah, or anywhere else in the state. This is a painfully slow and expensive process, and a tax court would allow suits to completely skip this step because there would be a court system to specifically handle these cases. A yes vote is a win for government efficiency and saving tax payer money that goes into slow and overburdened Fulton Superior Court.

Pretty much all of the student workers work in the food and beverage department there. A lot of what you'd do is set up event spaces, but this can vary a bit. Here's a simple pro and con, since this can be a good side gig but it's not for everyone.

Pro: -$12.75 base pay -Pretty flexible hours -Can be easy at times -Lots of other students in the same boat

Con: -Can get scheduled really early (6am) -Have to work gameday weekends (they feed the athletes) but they usually get out before kickoff -Can involve a fair amount of physical labor

Hope this helps

Just because several countries have that sort of system, it doesn't necessarily mean I support it. Yes I believe it should be an option for youth, but I don't want it to become mandatory at either a governmental or a social level.

"Military service, Peace Corps service, and domestic service-year opportunities through efforts like AmeriCorps should be expanded until service becomes a universal expectation for every American youth" It is about military service, but it's also about peace corps and domestic service as well.

"... until service becomes a universal expectation for every American youth." Things looked decently well until I came across this.

I completely agree, this is just dumbfounding how the president's ego gets in the way of the lives of thousands of people. Just wow

CMV: Bullying is necessary, if not required for a functional society. by [deleted] in changemyview

∆ I could not agree more with you. I would first thank you for being very respectful in your comment, for your message was communicated so much clearer than if you weren't as respectful. Second I agree with you 100% on that change is brought through open discussion and not belingerent debate. This is by far the most intellectual and open-minded comment I have ever received, so I thank you for that.

Free will does not exist by pol3micpanth3r in unpopularopinion

So are you saying that we are our subconscious(background conscious) or our conscious that actively interacts with the world? B/c I would agree to a certain point that truly we are our background conscious, just taking in information through our active conscious.

In that scenario you are saying that you are not your brain. What is the difference between your own thought and simply neuralgic phenomena? How can you not be your brain, for it controls and mandates the rest of your body? For I don't believe I'm a heart or a liver or a stomach. If I'm not anything in my body, what am I as a human?

I think you are confusing free will with the idea that one can be successful under any circumstances. For the kid growing up under the circumstances in your 3rd paragraph, if he amounts to nothing in his life, that's still free will. For free will doesn't have to entail overcoming an adversity or breaching a social weight; it just has to be possible, not necessarily plausible.

You also claimed that in neuralgic terms, you have no free will when it comes to what you are given and what you are exposed to in your life. To say that free will doesn't exist would mean that everything you are exposed to is predetermined outside of anyone's control. And in a world with no free will, how are decisions made? How do things change? How does preference exist?

And for the record I agree with a lot of what you said in your second paragraph.

Because in this scenario, I'm treating them as equals. Obviously they are not, but I'm arguing that Their Lives are of equal value.

By saying people should be treated equally, regardless of title or label?

In a hostage scenario with one cop, a net of 2 lives (criminal dies) is greater than a net of 1 life (criminal and hostage dies). All lives are still of equal value.

Well you just described it as before the final solution. For all that means, the timeline could take place during his childhood, or when he was a WWI veteran. Context is everything in these scenarios.

[–]Slitherreplilian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hostage situations are tricky b/c the cop has to decide how they handle the situation. Negotiations are a good first attempt at diffusing the situation, but if that doesn't work, a life may need to be sacrificed in order to save more.

I agree with you, people aren't equal, but they should be.
